My name is Lily Mae Goltz, this is my fourth year on the team. Throughout my time with the SigmaC@Ts I have the amazing opportunity to explore almost everything they have to offer. I joined the team because that's where the majority of my friends my freshman hung out but just a couple of meetings after the 2016 season kickoff I became passionately obsessed. By the time I graduate at the end of this year I hope to have made a meaningful impact on the team and its members because it has most definitely helped shape me into the young woman I am today.

Hello! My name is Vitor, I am 17 years old and I love astronomy, rock music and of course, engineering. Since I was a kid, I wanted to build, design and create projects that would help our society in some way. I also like to work with businesses and finance. I joined 108 SigmaC@T my Sophomore year, and since then, it has been a huge part of my life. Build season requires a lot of hard work, challenges, and dedication, but it is totally worth it. I am enjoying it as much as I can, since it is something of huge value to me. Go SigmaC@T!

My name is Katera Burrows and this is my third year on the team. I am now a senior unfortunately but this has been a great way to spend my time. Being a SigmaC@t has taught me lots of amazing skills and has even influenced my decision to pursue mechanical engineering.

Mentors

Mentors are important in everyday life and we are privileged to have them take time out of their day to help us with learning and experiencing a once in a lifetime opportunity. The SigmaC@Ts have been very fortunate to have many talented and knowledgeable engineers and professionals assist them in all aspects of team operations over the years. Not only do they donate their time and energy into exceptionally demanding projects, but they do so with such care and attention for the students' needs and wants. Without proper consultancy our team would not exist.
